UPDATED : Volvo V40 by Siku

9/14/2013

I have recently discovered that there do exist several slightly different versions of the Volvo V40 by Siku. The differences are not related to the 1:55 scale model itself but to the blister package and the supplemental content. The tiny variation is in fact a traffic sign made of plastic which comes in some sets. I have noticed that these road signs feature several different regulatory signs. The shape of the blisters is slightly different depending if the Volvo V40 comes with a road sign or not. Please let me know if you are aware of other versions.

The so far found versions are :

V40 without traffic sign
V40 with traffic sign : Do not enter / No entry
V40 with traffic sign : No stopping / Clearway
V40 with traffic sign : Pavement parking
.... ?

A seller from Israel is offering several Volvo scale models representing Police cars from Russia and Belarus. The 1:43 scale models are apparently custom made in the Ukraine. The seller did not want to share more infos and did not want to reveal more details about the various versions. The Police cars are based on redecorated models by Minichamps and Motorart. The level of details and the quality of the decals are of a very high standard. This is also reflected in the price tag. The average cost for a model are 80 €.
